She explains what anxiety is and uses research. She tells what the medical treatments including medicines that can be used to help patients. She shared practical step by step approaches to help patients. She also shares how peoples view of God can be distorted and hurt their daily lives. She gives examples of how God worked in the Bible and how that can encourage us to have a deeper relationship with Him. She even shared some examples when she has worried and how it has hurt her .She shared how she could have done things differently so she did not worry. She also shows ways we think that can promote worrying. She helps us change those faulty thinking patterns with good examples. This book is a good resource for therapists, counselors, any Christian , pastors. This book was given to me by netgalley and the publisher for review purposes. The opinions about the book are my own.
